Worried that the tension between them might upset Rebecca, Rosalie quickly said, "Mom, Dad, the food is getting cold. Let's eat. I've made up my mind. I won't pursue further studies. I'll start looking for a job soon.

"Didn't you drink alcohol? How can you drive?" Wesley had specifically made sure to not drink alcohol so he could drive his wife home.
"That was grape juice, not wine. Mr. Spencer, please keep your distance from me," Sydney said mercilessly as she got into her car and drove off.

Where do you want him to take you?"
